At the beginning of the twenty-first century, a generation of children crossed the border from the United States to begin their lives anew in Mexico. While all were international migrants, their roots spread far and wide. Some were migrant returnees born in Mexico; others had only ever known a life in the United States. Distinguishing returnees from new arrivals seems simple, but defining these youths'affiliations in their new homes in Mexico is much more complex and yields new insights that enrich our contemporary understanding of inclusion and belonging. This book is the product of twenty-five years'worth of fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue and research on these children's trajectories, tracing their journeys and studying integration—or lack thereof—into Mexican society and institutions.

El novembre de 2020 s'acomplí el primer centenari de la fundació del Celler Cooperatiu de Ripollet-Cerdanyola per part del Sindicat Agrícola de Ripollet. Aquesta iniciativa, presa majoritàriament per petits conreadors de vinya, parcers i rabassaires per donar sortida a les petites produccions individuals, comptà amb l'assessorament econòmic i tècnic de la Mancomunitat de Catalunya. El projecte va tenir, a més, la col·laboració de l'arquitecte Cèsar Martinell, deixeble de Gaudí, per al disseny i la construcció de l'edifici d'estil modernista. Aquest llibre posa en coneixement la trajectòria del Celler Cooperatiu al llarg d'aquests cent anys i la importància econòmica i social que el cultiu de la vinya va tenir a Ripollet i Cerdanyola, ja notori des del segle x. Els autors proposen un viatge de mil anys que s'endinsa en les relacions dels pagesos amb el monestir de Sant Cugat, propietari de la major part dels terrenys agrícoles de la zona, i en la seva vida social, tot ubicant els masos i les problemàtiques entre els seus propietaris i els pagesos remences i, posteriorment, els rabassaires. 1.000 anys del cultiu de vinya a Ripollet mostra com, a partir del cultiu de la vinya, es teixeix la microhistòria de la pagesia del Vallès Occidental i com s'explica la seva desaparició a les acaballes del segle xx, fets que mantenen una relació inequívoca amb els esdeveniments històrics del nostre país.

The Exegetical Guide to the Greek New Testament (EGGNT) closes the gap between the Greek text and the available lexical and grammatical tools, providing all the necessary information for greater understanding of the text. The series makes interpreting any given New Testament book easier, especially for those who are hard pressed for time but want to preach or teach with accuracy and authority. Each volume begins with a brief introduction to the particular New Testament book, a basic outline, and a list of recommended commentaries. The body is devoted to paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis of the Greek text and includes homiletical helps and suggestions for further study. A comprehensive exegetical outline of the New Testament book completes each EGGNT volume.

Paul writes a letter to a church routinely in disagreement with Paul's vision for how to live as a Christian in Corinth (a Roman city). The Corinthians were daily challenged to pursue Romanitas, or the social, cultural, and religious life of the elites in the Roman world, and thus the Corinthians were pursuing too much prestige and status and honor. Various factions, or divisions, had formed among the house churches. Paul addresses a series of church problems presenting themselves in Corinth that need to be understood and corrected so the believers of Corinth can walk in the way of Christ more consistently.Scot McKnight provides scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament. The NIV is used as the primary Bible text but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.McKnight also offers some historical context; connects the passage to the larger story of the Bible; provides an illustration, a metaphor, or an image that brings the passage alive; and provides a list of 2-3 resources for further reading or study. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily reading.

Ländliche Räume sind im Umbruch: Digitalisierung, Agrarwandel und Energiewende verändern Landschaften, Alltagspraktiken und Zukunftsvorstellungen auch jenseits der Städte. Trotzdem erfährt das Land im Vergleich zur Stadt von der Soziologie noch immer zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit. Die Beiträger•innen nehmen sich diesem Desiderat an und liefern kompakt und verständlich wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zur ländlichen Transformation.
